Sandos Playacar All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was there absolutely fantastic. I really appreciated the personal care from the Expedia staff."

Hotel Riu Playacar - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"This is a beautiful property and honestly one of the nicest places I’ve stayed. The grounds are gorgeous, the staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the food is absolutely wonderful. We especially enjoyed the variety, with the exception of the Asian restaurant, which none of our group particularly cared for, although the shrimp tempura was very good. One unique feature we loved was seeing the capybaras and coatis roaming the property and foraging around the trees. They were so cute and fun to watch! The entertainment was also very enjoyable, especially the live performances. However, the heat is something to consider. The entertainment areas are outdoors, partially covered and partially open, with large fans but no air conditioning. We skipped a few shows because it was simply too hot. At the resort we stayed at during our previous three Cancun trips, the performances and nightly disco were in an air-conditioned area, which we definitely missed. At times here, the instrumental music was also so loud that it was difficult to hear the singer. Another important consideration is the amount of walking. Our room was in Block 8 at the far end of the resort, and I averaged about 15,000 steps a day just getting around. If you enjoy walking, this may not bother you, but if you have mobility issues or difficulty with long distances, it is definitely something to consider. There are also no elevators. Our bed was extremely firm. The staff kindly tried to make it softer w"

Grand Sunset Princess - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here at the Princess Sunset hotel in Playa Del Carmen. Their architecture, operations, and the food were top notch. Everything went really smooth with our stay. Most of all, their staff was soooo warm and hospitable that it has truly left such a great impression to me for Mexico. The only critique I have is that I wish there was a night swim option. Perhaps just a main pool with two lifeguards? However, it’s understandable that theres liability for a family resort. Overall, we had such an amazing stay!!! And would highly recommend this resort to first time visitors to Mexico."

Royal Hideaway Playacar All Inclusive - Adults only

10/10 Excellent

"This was our 10 th visit to the hideaway. We loved all the staff! They made the difference from good to amazing! They all remembered us and our preferences without asking! The property is so pretty and nicely maintained with beautiful gardens. We loved the fresh lilies in the lobby! They remembered our anniversary and made a point to recognize it. They do need to fix the a/c in the alegrea bar. This visit it was not working and being being very hot time of year, the a/c would of been nice to have to enjoy an evening cocktail and and watch the entertainment. The room is always nicely cleaned and feels fresh. We loved the Loccitane bath products. The restaurants food choices and meals were so delicious we both gained 10 lbs (haha) they always accommodated preferences and allergies. We highly recommend spending some time here."

Secrets Moxché Playa del Carmen - Adults Only - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"The usual " I wanted to give it 5 stars" which the resort definitely deserves... But I am a first traveler and was excited to check out this resort ( the rooftop infinity pool was awesome - recommended. But when I got to my room I was expecting to see this beautiful view (which it was) it was the fact that my room looked right down on a big patch of sand that was a construction site. The lesson learned I will next time call the property and ask about anything I should know about the room But recommend the resort!!!"
